Which county has the cheapest apartments for rent?

Question

I have recently gotten a new job and planning to move around the Elverson, PA area. Elverson is like right on the corner where Berks, Chester, and Lancaster counties meet. I was wondering which county had the cheapest rent and if anyone knew of a good apartment complex in that area.

Answer 1

You are pretty far out of Philly at that point.  Right now, Chester is probably the cheapest, but is also in the worst shape generally, as the county was taken over by the state due to serious financial issues.  That part of the county is not the worst though.

Reading, which is not too far away, is going through a bit of a rough patch but has some nice areas, should be reasonable.

It really depends on where the job is located too and what kind of a budget you have.

Answer 2

Chester is expensive.  Berks isn't too bad, especially down that way.  Lancaster county isn't bad either.  Unfortunately, Elverson is in the country and country apts are always more expensive.
